Having just recently celebrated my 9th wedding anniversary and expecting to celebrate many more, here's my thoughts:
1) Comfort. Being able to spend hours on end together without saying a word and not feeling awkward. Feeling like something isn't right when they aren't there. Never worrying when the next bout of drama is coming.
2) Attraction. I'm not talking about that initial makes you feel happy in the pants attraction, but more the "that little spot on the back of their neck that smells like heaven" stuff.
3) Compatiblity. Like Al said, being able to converse about anything and everything. My wife and I still spend hours chatting endlessly over dinner out.
4) Comprimise. Should be willing to accompany you to things that you enjoy occasionally, while you should be understanding when they don't.
5) Lack of drama. If you argue or raise your voices often - run away. In 11 years together we've probably had 5 or 6 real fights. There have been quite a few heated discussions, but they never get above normal speaking volumes.
Having a great ass don't hurt either...

If I'm going to marry a man, he first has tot be my best friend. He has to treat me nicely and respectfully, and not think he wants to marry his mother. He has to be hot, and we have to be able to tell each other anything. He has to at least feign an interest in things I like to do and we have to be able to hold conversations about higher math. He has to be willing to hold my hand in public. He has to have balls, and he has to have guts.
Basically, he has to possess qualities that will allow us to spend years and years together while still wanting to fuck each other and not wanting to kill each other. He doesn't have to be perfect. He doesn't have to be my dream man. We just have to get along.
I concur...
This is exactly how I feel towards my partner. now can someone loan me a few grand so I can buy the bloody engagement ring.

Damn, a few grand?
My engagement ring set me back about 60 bucks, and she still thinks it's beautiful. Hell, my wedding ring only cost a couple of hundred. A nice ring is good, but don't let lack of scratch keep you from getting engaged.

That's aussie dollars though...she showed me one that she'd seen and thought was perfect. I know she would be quite happy with anything, but I like to go all out sometimes... Now if only I had a better job.
